What are the Halo: Campaign Evolved bonus missions?

What to expect in all 13 missions
Each brief links to a full walkthrough and the collectible routes for that mission.
- 01
Classic mission
The Pillar of Autumn
The opening mission starts in the cryo bay, crosses a warship under Covenant attack and ends at the escape pods. The remake keeps that story route but rebuilds its combat spaces.

Classic mission
Halo
After the crash landing, the campaign opens into a series of valleys and survivor rescues. The Warthog connects the large outdoor areas, and the rescue sites can be tackled in different orders.

Classic mission
The Truth and Reconciliation
A night approach through the canyon leads to a gravity-lift assault and a rescue operation inside the Covenant cruiser. Long-range opening combat gives way to compact interior rooms.
Open mission guide → - 04
Classic mission
The Silent Cartographer
The island assault starts with a beach landing, opens into a vehicle loop and ends below ground at the map room. Its roads and side paths allow several approaches.
Open mission guide → - 05
Classic mission
Assault on the Control Room
This long snowbound mission moves between Forerunner interiors, bridges, vehicle fights and open valleys. Weapons and vehicles carried out of one section can shape the next.
Open mission guide → - 06
Classic mission
343 Guilty Spark
The swamp investigation descends into a damaged facility and changes the campaign’s enemy mix. Low visibility and repeated rooms make lights, audio cues and the escape route easy to lose.
Open mission guide → - 07
Classic mission
The Library
The Library is a long escort through repeated Forerunner floors. The Flood gathers around locked doors and lifts, so each wait becomes a chance to reload and reset your position.
Open mission guide → - 08
Classic mission
Two Betrayals
Two Betrayals revisits the control-room landscape in reverse with mixed Covenant and Flood encounters. Familiar geometry now supports different enemy combinations and pulse-generator objectives.
Open mission guide → - 09
Classic mission
Keyes
The search for Captain Keyes returns to the Covenant cruiser under heavy Flood pressure. The route mixes damaged ship interiors, organic obstructions and a short exterior approach.
Open mission guide → - 10
Classic mission
The Maw
The finale returns to the Pillar of Autumn for a reactor objective and the campaign’s timed Warthog escape. The mission tests close-quarters survival before switching to driving consistency.
Open mission guide → - 11
Bonus mission
Boarding Action
Boarding Action opens Operation: METEORITE aboard the Covenant research vessel Triumph of Tolerance. Master Chief and Avery Johnson fight through its training rooms and gene forge while a simple boarding operation keeps changing shape.
Open mission guide → - 12
Bonus mission
The Most Dangerous Game
The second Operation: METEORITE mission crosses the Triumph of Tolerance hunting dome with Johnson, Lieutenant Williams and Tiger Company. Long outdoor arenas, bridge controls and several compact wave rooms make it a much tougher firefight than the opening mission.
Open mission guide → - 13
Bonus mission
Heavy Burden
Heavy Burden closes Operation: METEORITE with a push to the Triumph of Tolerance bridge, an escort back to the hangar and a Seraph battle around the ship. It is the longest and most varied of the three prequel missions.
